1978 Cadillac Seville

 

Breathtaking 1978 Cadillac Seville!  This particular vehicle is an outstanding example of elegance, style and muscle.  Done in stunning silver/gray metallic, it has matching leather interior that is just as remarkable.

 

Driven only 40k original miles, this show car winner has been meticulously maintained and 100% garage kept.  It has been enhanced with brand new 19 inch BBS rims along with brand new Goodyear tires.

 

Everything mechanically works perfectly.  The problematic fuel injection system of the late 70's is not present in this automobile.  That is because it has been replaced with a carbureted system professionally installed by a certified mechanic and Master GM technician.  It has been fully serviced and its New Jersey inspection sticker does not expire until July 2016.

 

It has all the power options available for 1978 including 6-way power seats, power windows, power steering, power door locks, power trunk pull-down, power antenna, etc.  A tilt and telescopic steering wheel along with cruise control are also present on this extraordinary automobile.     

 

What I (especially) like about this car is that it drives like you are floating on a cloud and yet it has this distinctive, throaty rumble as you accelerate away... which is not really loud, but just thunderous enough to give you a feeling of true power and performance.

 

As you know, this model (made only from 1976 thru 1979) has dramatic styling and elegance and, with the addition of 19 inch rims, stands outrageously strong and actually looks statuesque when standing.  I think the best part about this Seville is its rare hardtop.  It just looks so much better than the tattered landau roofs of the 1970's.

 

PURCHASE GUARANTEE: 

Hold your check!  If you are the winner of this auction and you are coming in person to pick up the vehicle, I do not need a deposit.  Look at the car after you purchase it.  Inspect it with your mechanic and take it for a test drive.  If you like what you see, the car is yours!  If you don't like what you see or if you have buyer's remorse, no worries.  Keep your money.  I will simply relist the vehicle. 

I don't want anyone having second thoughts about bidding on this automobile.

 

Feel free to print this page and bring it with you as proof of my guarantee.  However, if you win this auction and choose not to inspect the vehicle but rather have the car shipped directly to you instead, then (of course) I cannot offer a purchase guarantee.

 

This is indeed a rare find.  Those of you who have been looking for this particular model know just how hard it is to find a '76 thru '79 hardtop in such pristine condition, with such low mileage and finished in such nice matching colors.  Then, to ultimately have it converted to a carbureted system is not only time-consuming, but a costly endeavor if you plan on doing it the right way with a Master GM technician.


Thank you for taking the time to appreciate this true classic. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Car has 2 sets of keys with remote.

GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."

GM extending warranties on Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Camaro ZL1 for supercharger issue

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Okay General Motors, we've sat by and watched you recall the compact cars, crossovers and pickup trucks, and aside from reporting on it, we've been fairly quiet. This, though, this will not do. We can almost tolerate the recalls on the bread-and-butter cars, but leave the performance vehicles alone.
According to a report from The Car Connection, GM has discovered a problem with the superchargers of the 6.2-liter V8s found in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the Cadillac CTS-V. Apparently, the issue rests around the internal bearing shaft grease, which can become contaminated (we aren't sure with what). If left unchecked, it'll first lead to a rattle at idle, which goes away under slight throttle. The real warning stage is when a high-pitched squeal develops, signaling that the bearing shaft has failed. Naturally, severe engine damage is the next step (although it's possible that the engine will also just refuse to turnover, although neither case is desirable).
According to TCC, GM will replace the superchargers on vehicles that have exhibited symptoms of bearing shaft failure free of charge. It will also, allegedly, be extending the warranty on all supercharged ZL1s and CTS-Vs to 10 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first), from the date of purchase. Officially, only 2009 to 2013 CTS-Vs and 2012 to 2013 ZL1s are suffering from this issue.

Cadillac dealers frustrated over Escalade production snarls

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Lincoln went through it during the launch of the MKZ last year, Jeep went through something similar with its Cherokee launch, and now the 2015 Cadillac Escalade has apparently caught the bug: dealer delivery delays because of quality control checks. Automotive News reports that Cadillac dealers have been waiting three times longer than usual - a month or more - from the time an Escalade leaves the assembly line to when it gets delivered. Worse, dealers are saying they don't always know where their vehicles are in transit, or when they are set to arrive. The situation has upset customers who have put down deposits and things have gotten so bad that some dealers have reportedly stopped taking pre-orders.
Cadillac says it has the delay, called "dwell time," down to two weeks, and it expects to cut that to a week by the beginning of September. The company said "a lengthy quality-assurance process on some interior parts" has caused the lag, the report citing additional issues with figuring out which vehicles should be delivered first. A spokesman said that more trucks have been put in the distribution system to work through the backlog, but it's clear it's still going to take some time to set things right, with one dealer telling AN that cars ordered in February and March still haven't arrived.
Brand chief Kurt McNeil said additional personnel are at the Escalade's Arlington, Texas factory to speed up the checks, and spreadsheets tracking every order have been distributed to field staff. Even with the snafu, though, the Escalade is Cadillac's best seller through July.
